I think this next baker tried to make a Hello Kitty vampire, but since HK has no mouth it turned out a little...odd.

Transplanted walrus tusks, or dangling fingers? I suppose either works on the cracked black background. Oh, and maybe this is just me, but I find that a vampire who waves totally loses all "cool" credibility. Seriously. Can you picture Dracula waving? Of course not. It's just not dignified.

Now, if you want a creepy Hello Kitty done right, you do what Bonefinder did:

Zombie Hello Kitty - excellent!

And lastly, Julie M. found out the hard way that her local bakery either has no idea who Hello Kitty is, or believes she is Porky Pig's sister:

Yes, that's really supposed to be Hello Kitty. Wow.

Hey Ayana W., Holly U., Kelly H., and Matthew Z., what do you get when you combine Hello Kitty & Darth Vader?

Answer: Something that horrifies every Star Wars fan in existence:

Everyone can relax; it's Photoshopped. For legitimate HK insanity, though, check out Hello Kitty Hell. It's funny stuff, although I'd be lying if I said I didn't think a lot of the stuff on there is adorable. (Look at these water bottles and tell me they're not just the cutest - go on.)

Wow.I can hardly keep a straight face when passing a neighbor's car with Hello Kitty stickers on it. Now I better cross to the other side of the street when I pass it because I'll be cracking up imagining one of these plastered on her hood.

Word verification: tyllu, as in I tyllu some of these don't look a thing like Hello Kitty.

Wonder how you screw it up. SHe is basically a circle with two triangles at 10 and 2 (like your driving hands ppl) a yellow circle nose...black dot eyes and some whiskers....how do you screw that up? SRSLY?

Okay...so I love the Hello Vader!

Um......btw....I saw a very KEWL looking biker in full atire (female) on a Harley....looking tough with all her tats and she went past and I saw a HELLO KITTY BACKPACK on her back. Just not right, I almost wrecked and died.

The bottled water in the female torso shapped bottles is kinda creepy. Of course the outfits on the labels are cute as can be. But drinking water out of headless female forms is a little too creepy for me.

When I saw that the second one was a CCC (blech!), my teeth started hurting from all of that icing that is domed up on them - the icing to cake ratio must be 100:1!

The vampire one would have been cuter if the teeth were smaller and didn't look like bleeding fingers... I kind of like the cracked black background - you think Dracula would have a pretty background!?!

Not only is the second one a CCC, The ones in the corners (A CCC shouldn't have corners anyway) are on their side...That's just such a terrible idea. Do people not realize this when they are making them, or ordering them?

OMG, I no longer feel bad about the less-than-steady piping job I did on the Hello Kitty cake I made for my daughter's birthday. Upon melting the chocolate to make the lines, I realized I didn't have a suitable attachment for my piping bag. I improvised by using a medicine syringe (without a needle). All things considered, I think my cake turned out really well. Wish I had some pictures online.

I really like the vampire one (I have a thing for vampires!) The zombie is amazing and I almost fell out of my chair at the HK Darth Vadar. I know it is PS, but the sad thing is that I can actually see someone doing that!

As a Kitty-chan fan (people say it makes me very easy to shop for *g*), I just cringe while laughing at these. I'm not really sure why it's so difficult; I once received a homemade HK cake and it was adorable. =)

Zombie!Kitty is great! Very clever. Makes up for the horror of Petunia Pig and the crusted over frosting dome horror of the CCC (patooi!) And I'm not even TOUCHING the vampire!Kitty. I've seen it done but this example is quite wreckalicious!

Someone once forwarded me the Hello Vader pic, and the filename was NNNNOOOOOO.jpg XD

As a high school student I am surrounded by girls who are still obsessed with Hello Kitty! I have never seen anything in Hello Kitty, but now it is totaly rediculous! These 17 year olds need to get a life!

Also, how hard can it be to make a hello kitty cake?! Use a circle pan, and unless you are very much lacking in the skills department, you really can't screw up!

I know there are several horse people that read here...well, not that you need to be a horse person, but scarey/funny experience for me the other night. Read it on my blog: www.freewebs.com/spottedtridingblog/ridingblogjul2009.htm

I've got to say, zombie Hello Kitty was very well done. The CCCs on the other hand were extraordinarily frightening. I almost went into diabetic shock just looking at the icing dome on that second cake. I think my favorite from the Hello Kitty Hell website was the taser...

haha, oh my! the CCC makes me go into sugar shock... I thought it was fondant at first glance. Also, i was staring at the vader w/o reading the blurb tyring to wrack my brain... I know i didn't see him at a celebration, but so would have taken a pic if I had...

Why? Why would you do that to me? And my niece was right here too. "Auntie, is that supposed to be hello kitty?!" It was like explaining, "no your Uncle wasn't trying to suffocate me in the bedroom", all over again. Very traumatic post.

Hello Kitty and vampire do not mix. No worky. Why didn't they use Chococat for that?

I have the sneaking suspicion that they did this cake for a goth girl, too. no, don't laugh, I'm serious. There's a... thing going on with goths and HK. I don't know. I'm just a crusty old bat. kids these days. get off my lawn.

Hello Vader is not a 'shop job, it's real. He's made appearances at various comic and anime cons. His costume is one of the more normal ones out there 0_o (whatever you do, do NOT google "Man-Faye" or you WILL regret it!)

I'm a grown woman and I adore Hello Kitty! I grew up collecting Sanrio stuff and still like it, though I no longer buy every HK item I see. She's cute and happy! How can you not love her?

Well, ok, I guess there's some Wrecktators out there who don't, judging by the photos *LOL*

My 10 year old son said of the first cake, "it looks like Hello Kitty went through a paper shredder and they tried to put her back together. It didn't work very well."I have been laughing until tears are streaming down my face this morning. Thank you.

I love Hello Kitty. Its so adorable and sweet. Its my favourite Japanese toy. That reminds me... must find and buy a Hello Kitty bentou (Japanese lunch) box for when I don't want to bother eating Japanese food on a plate nor in a bowl...

My word verification was "bressers". This is what Brothers call their clothing chests, since they do not wear dresses.

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
